Fantasy Football News & Latest NFL Updates

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Bears QB Justin Fields suffered an apparent right hand injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. He headed back to the locker room with trainers. Stay tuned for an update.

Update: Fields has been ruled out with a hand injury.

Patriots WR Tyquan Thornton (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Raiders. He has a chance to step in as New England’s No. 3 WR with JuJu Smith-Schuster and Demario Douglas out. But Thornton should not be in fantasy lineups in his 2023 debut. WR Kayshon Boutte is a healthy scratch.

Jaguars CB Tyson Campbell left in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Colts with a hamstring injury. He's questionable to return.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel suffered a shoulder injury in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Browns. He headed back to the locker room and is officially questionable to return.

Update: Samuel has been ruled out.

Texans LB Denzel Perryman is inactive for today's game against the Saints. He put in full practices all week and carried no injury designation into Sunday after returning last week from a hand injury. So this looks like a healthy scratch. That combines with Perryman's decreased playing time last week to signal the team is turning to rookie Henry To'oTo'o and Blake Cashman as the LB leaders. Perryman is droppable in your IDP league.

Titans QB Ryan Tannehill injured his right ankle in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Ravens. He eventually headed back to the locker room. This is the same ankle that Tannehill injured last year, ending his season in Week 15. QB Malik Willis is set to replace Tannehill.

Bengals CB Chidobe Awuzie (back) is active for today's game against the Seahawks. Use him as planned in your IDP lineups.

Bears S Eddie Jackson (foot) is active for today's game against the Vikings. It'll be his first action since leaving Week 2 with the injury. Jackson remained limited in practice this week and would be a risky option -- with a low floor -- for your IDP lineup.

Jaguars LB Devin Lloyd is active for today's game against the Colts. He missed the past 2 games after surgery to repair his right thumb. Lloyd's return today should knock LB Chad Muma back down to a part-time role.

Dolphins Edge Jaelan Phillips (oblique) is active for today's game against the Panthers. He missed the past two contests and indicated during the week that he wasn't sure whether he'd be ready. Don't be surprised if he plays a smaller snap share then usual. But there's plenty of upside to make him worth a slot in IDP lineups. Edge Andrew Van Ginkel -- who has seen playing-time boosts in Phillips' absence -- remains an upside play for this contest as well.

Panthers Edge Brian Burns (ankle) and DT Derrick Brown (knee, ankle) are active for today's game against the Dolphins. Brown still looks like a risky play after a limited week of practice.

ESPN's Jeff Darlington reports that the Lions are "planning" for TE Sam LaPorta (calf) to be active for this afternoon's game vs. the Bucs. It's not quite a guarantee -- but all signs point toward LaPorta playing. We'll get Detroit's inactives a little before 3 pm ET.

Niners LB Dre Greenlaw (hamstring) is inactive for today's game against the Browns. Oren Burks looks like the best bet to run second among 49ers LBs in playing time.

Ravens S Kyle Hamilton got ejected midway through the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Titans after a helmet-to-helmet hit on Titans WR Chris Moore. The play clearly earned the personal-foul call, but Hamilton's ejection seemed to surprise everyone. We wouldn't bet on it costing him further game time.

49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Browns. He figures to slide back in as the No. 2 RB but would be a desperation fantasy start.

11:32am EDT 10/15/23

Browns TE David Njoku (face, hand) is active for today’s game vs. the 49ers. We’re not too worried about his burn injuries, but Njoku is not a recommended TE1 with Cleveland sporting a laughably low 13.0-point implied total.

11:32am EDT 10/15/23

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. We haven’t heard anything about his snaps being limited today with what’s reportedly a pain-management issue. But there’s still some risk of re-injury. See where Higgins sits in the Week 6 WR Rankings.

Texans WR Robert Woods (ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, so he should be ready for a full slate of snaps today. With WR Tank Dell out with his concussion, Woods is a viable WR4 in PPR leagues.

Texans WR Tank Dell (concussion) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Saints. The rookie gets a Week 7 bye and should be cleared to return for Week 8.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (knee) is expected back when first eligible in Week 11. On IR, Achane is out for the next four games, and Miami has a Week 10 bye. The rookie is worth keeping stashed in all fantasy leagues.
